Works in progress

So this is like the fifth time I’ve tried to start a blog. Let’s see if it works this time. I actually need a place to store and showcase some of the work I’ve done. I’d like to call myself an amateur photographer, but I think that would just be my way of living in my fear. So, although I have done some work, I still have a long way to go and a lot to learn.

Recently I’ve caught the film bug, and have been trying to use what I know from photography to grow and learn through film and video. Problem is, I have all these ideas in my head, but can’t figure out how to put them together. I guess the same thing could go for my photography as well.

We’ll call this blog an experiment. An avenue. An outlet. To all of the things I wanna do. To the creation and cultivation of an art form. To my journey as an artist. I used to write poetry some years ago. I don’t really call myself a poet anymore, but maybe that way of thinking, as a poet, can help me in developing a style for my myself. A brand.

Hoping this blog will be the answer to my questions at this point in my life.

I’m gonna drop some photos on this page every now and then, maybe some video, quotes, whatev. Leave comments. Give suggestions for things I can shoot. And if something needs some edits or other constructive feedback…then lemme know!

I’m a work in progress. Check out my works in progress…

Just click on the photo and it will enlarge.

Story: Feeling kinda down and was stuck in the house. Hadn’t been to work in a couple days and just needed a boost. My good friend Tanikka Charrae was in town, sooooo she peer pressured me into going to Hidden Soul Wednesdays’ very last open mic…EVER! lol The event was run by her good friend Ike of IM3Media. Usually don’t bring my camera out, but my intent was to do some filming of TC. I think we had too many shots and decided against it. #sidebar- did somebody say open bar! Buuuuuuut, I did get some pics of my surroundings. All in all it was a GREAT night. I actually ran into someone I went to college with, Latifah, who is one of the youngest officers of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women Inc.’s Pa chapter. Turns out she’s also a flight attendant. Obviously we exchanged info and she’s gonna refer me for some events and even some flight attendant shindigs to photograph. Meanless to say, things are looking up.

Wow!!!! It worked! Im so glad & excited that this blog is alive! As an artist & as your friend, im so anxious to see this blog take on a life of its own. You have such an awesome eye and I love love love how you always manage to illuminate our city by making it a great motif in your work! Cheers & blessings to the future!
